How Can I Be True To Myself? // David Clark
ABOUT THE MESSAGE
David Clark continues our series "FAQ", where we tackle the toughest objections to the Christian faith as well as the most frequently asked questions that college students ask.

Thankfully, God has already given us such a clear picture of who we are! David explores 3 areas to look at in order to live out our true selves as God made us to be.
